Review – Hannah and Her Sisters

If only all these neurotic nincompoops didn’t keep getting in the way of the scenery! This movie has some of the most impressive location work I’ve ever seen. The backdrops give a wonderful flavor of New York City, or at least the upper class white Manhattan portion thereof. Beyond that, however, this isn’t exactly Woody Allen’s finest moment. The story is 10% Annie Hall and 90% “Days of Our Lives.” The plot centers around three sisters (Mia Farrow, Barbara Hershey and Dianne Wiest) and their various husbands, ex-husbands, lovers, and so on. The result is a pretty picture of nothing more important than melodrama spawned by the petty dissatisfactions of well-to-do urbanites. Mildly amusing
